Face Whites. One of most innocent kind is prepared
from Venetian talc, or French chalk, finely le\'igated.
These are sometimes calcined, to increase their whiteness ;
but this dimmishes their mictuosity and adhesiveness. Digestion with vinegar, and subsequent washing, are practised for the same purpose.
Flake white (a fine variety
of white lead) was formerly much used, but is now
generally condemned as unsafe ; it is also liable to become
browni under certain circumstances.
Pearl or bismuth
white (magistery of bismuth*) is less injurious when pure,
but is subject to the latter inconvenience. M. Thenaed
recommends oxide of zinc, with an equal weight of French
chalk prepared by vinegar. ]\Iagnesia is said to be employed by by the American ladies. White starch is used
for the same purpose.
*
For tliis purpose a little hydrochloric acid is added to the solution of the
metal in nitric acid, and the magistery is precipitated by a small quantity of
water or the nitric solution is iiiixed with a weak solution ot sea salt

Fluxes. In a general sense these are substances which promote the fusion of minerals, but particularly which cleanse
a reduced metal, by assisting its separation from its impurities.
They also serve to defend it from the action of
the air, and some of them assist in the reduction of oxides.
Stuck Flux.
Into an earthen crucible, heated sufficiently
hot to cause feeble combustion, but not to fuse the flux,
throw successive portions of a mixture of 1 part of nitre,
and 2 of crude (or cream of) tartar. Keep the flux in a
close bottle.
White Flux. Into a large earthen crucible, heated to redness, throw successive portions of a mixture of 2 parts of
